Müller warns SSPX consecrations would be schismatic, Latin Mass remains valid

Cardinal Gerhard Müller says the Society of St. Pius X’s planned July 1 four-bishop consecrations without papal mandate would be a schismatic act, while affirming that the Traditional Latin Mass remains valid. He argues that episcopal ordinations without the pope’s consent are impossible and would incur automatic excommunication, likens the SSPX to the Donatists, and urges the faithful not to participate in schismatic Masses. Müller separates devotion to liturgy from rejection of papal authority, criticizes bishops who ban the TLM as authoritarian, and notes the SSPX’s state of necessity defense alongside continued Vatican warnings and upcoming discussions on atheism, AI, and synodality.
